Understanding Life Through Nature’s Eyes

Introduction

Good morning, good afternoon, wherever you are. This is Chris, and welcome back to another episode of the Anti-Guru Guru podcast. Today, we’re exploring the essential elements of life through the lens of nature’s universal laws. Normally, I don’t script nature’s laws in my podcasts, but today is different because I want you to do well. Understanding what’s real and wasting less time on distractions is crucial for success.

We will discuss five key aspects: resilience, clarity, vision, well-being, and leadership. Are you ready? Let’s dive in and do a reality check. Remember our motto: be real, stay messy, and keep practising.

Resilience: The Law of Balance and Emotions

Like the law of balance in nature, resilience is all about managing our emotions. Imagine a tree in a storm, swaying with the wind but staying firm. This tree doesn’t fight the wind; it bends, flexes, and stays balanced. Similarly, our emotions are like the wind—constantly changing and often beyond our control. However, if we embrace that flux, we can stay grounded like the tree.

Emotions shape our stories, perceptions, and beliefs. Knowing how to experience emotion without being led by it makes life more poetic and beautiful. It’s not about eliminating emotions; it’s about finding balance within our emotions.

Clarity: The Law of Growth and Being Real

Clarity is tied to the law of growth and evolution. Growth is real and tangible, like a sapling growing into a mighty oak. It happens at the border of chaos and order, support and challenge. Think about a river carving its way through the landscape. It’s a process of constant change and adaptation.

Clarity comes when we accept that growth involves both support and challenge. Many seek personal mastery by trying to eliminate challenges, but true clarity and growth come from embracing them. It’s about being real and understanding that evolution is a journey.

Consider how a river rarely flows straight; it meanders, facing challenges. These challenges shape the river and make it real, just as our challenges shape our lives.

Vision: The Law of Interconnectedness and a Winning Mindset

Vision is all about interconnectedness and having a winning mindset. In nature, everything is interconnected, from the tiniest microcosm to the largest ecosystem. Think of a spider’s web, where each strand is integral to the whole. Gain and loss drive much of human behaviour, like how ecosystems thrive on the balance of resources.

When we see our lives as interconnected, we realize that nothing is ever missing; it may be in a different form than expected. Appreciating what we have means our vision for the future is a winning vision. True mastery involves having a clear vision, being inspired by what you have, and having a purpose that guides you, like a lighthouse in the distance.

For instance, as an ocean swimmer, I pick a marker on a faraway hill to guide me across the water. This marker, like purpose, keeps me moving in the right direction despite the fluctuations of the ocean.

Well-Being: The Law of Vibration and Switching Off and On

Well-being involves understanding the law of vibration and knowing how to switch off and on. Everything in nature vibrates, from the hum of a bee to the rustling of leaves. Our thoughts are vibrations too, influencing our health and well-being. Consider a hummingbird, able to hover and swiftly change direction. Our minds should work the same way, knowing when to stay focused and when to switch off and recharge.

High-vibration thoughts transmit success and health, while negative thoughts do the opposite. We can maintain our well-being even during challenging times by tuning into the right vibrational thoughts. It’s crucial to avoid low-vibration, polarized thinking that can lead to health issues.

Leadership: The Law of Hierarchy and the Scope of Your Life

Leadership and the scope of your life are defined by the law of hierarchy. In nature, hierarchies are everywhere, from the animal kingdom to plant ecosystems. The tallest trees have the best access to sunlight, while smaller plants thrive in the underbrush. Consciousness, in this context, refers to your state of mind and judgments. A balanced mind is a conscious mind, able to see both sides of a situation.

The person with the greatest consciousness leads. Someone cannot lead us with lower consciousness because they will be traumatized by things that don’t affect us, leading to stress. Leadership is about having a conscious vision that aligns with reality, allowing you to inspire and lead others effectively.

Importance of a Teacher or Guru

And remember, introspection alone can be dangerous. Like a rabbit trying to work out whether it’s right or wrong, self-examination without guidance can lead to confusion and stress. This is why the concept of a teacher or guru is so valuable. I recommend everyone have someone who understands the holistic nature of your being and can help you look into yourself periodically.

Participating in a structured program like a 30-day challenge can be incredibly beneficial. It’s a way to reboot yourself, get back on track, and reinforce conscious thoughts and high vibrations. Such programs help you stay in the driver’s seat of your life.
